The name 54 Thrones distinctively represents Africa's 54 countries. Entrepreneur Christina Funke Tegbe grew up in the States and throughout her childhood her Aunts in Nigeria would always find a way to send small tubs of Shea Butter, Black Soap and Palm Oil for her and her siblings to use. These fond childhood memories inspired her to create a medium to make luxury African beauty secrets more accessible for women of color everywhere.

She travels to each and every country her products are sourced in; personally meeting each and every farmer, entrepreneur and cooperative. Collaborating to create authentic, sustainably-made luxury beauty products, wholly made in Africa by Africans.
